The Alexis in Seattle is wonderful. The hotel is nicely appointed and within walking distance of all the fun sights of downtown, including the waterfront and Pike Place Market. Our recent visit was our second time, and the hotel did not disappoint. The room we stayed in was beautiful and spacious with a very comfortable bed; the front desk staff and valets were very courteous and helpful; and our breakfast in the adjoining restaurant was tops, We will definitely stay here again.

I have been to Kimpton properties that I prefer to this location. Pros: The hotel is convenient to most downtown sights, everything is walkable. Staff is effective and helpful. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Cons: The bathrooms are a little run down and dark. No airport shuttle. Room service menu is limited and very expensive. Overall pleasant stay, but lacking any wow factor.

We loved this location. Walking distance to Safeco and Qwest Fields ... as well as the Market and all of downtown (AND, since it is on First St., you don't have to hike up the whole hill to 4th and 5th - where most of the hotels are).
If you are not a Kimpton rewards member, sign up! You get free Wi-Fi, a "raid the bar" credit good for $20 worth of mini-bar indulgences (or drinks at the regular bar). They also offer lots of great packages to members. On this trip, we got free valet parking ...

Of course, the rooms and bathrooms are always high quality at Kimpton. Love this chain!

The Bookstore Bar & Restaurant (part of the property) is well worth a visit. The menu is a gem, and my lunch was prepared in the most tasteful (and tasty) way. Of course, I need to mention Nestor (the bartender), whose thoughts of Brooklyn past were refreshing for this New York City Kid.

Alexis Hotel was a great place to stay. Close to all things downtown like Art Museum, Benaroya Hall, Pike Place Market, and the water. 2-3 blocks from University light rail stop, so you don't need a car for a decent Seattle visit. I had business at the Federal Building and across the street at Hotel 1000, both of which were about 2 min away. Dinner/lunch options also within minutes.

The hotel has extra perks of free coffee in the lobby in the morning (Starbucks of course) as well as a happy hour with complimentary wine in the afternoon.
The service was pretty good. I would say the only negative thing was that the concierge was an idea that never really happened. We would go down looking for the concierge and we were always told she was busy somewhere else in the hotel. This happened 3 separate instances to the point that we thought that she didn't really exist. But we figured out places to go through Yelp and tripadvisor.
Overall, I think I would come back and stay here again.

This hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to many attractions. Public transport is everywhere and is cheap to use. The hotel has a daily happy hour with free drinks and canopies which is very welcome after a day of sightseeing. The room we had was quiet but a bit cramped, not much room for 2 large suitcases and hand luggage. The hotel is nicely furnished and staff friendly. Would stay there again.

Friendly quick checkin. Delighted to have been upgraded to a suite. Room was amazing. More like a flat. Beautiful and huge. Brought an extra fold down bed for us as the suite couldn't accommodate a twin. Bedroom was lovely and bed so comfy. Bathroom was great with huge jacuzzi bath. Staff great and wine hour always appreciated. Location is great. Highly recommended and thanks for the upgrade.

This hotel is great. The rooms are super comfortable, the staff is exceptionally helpful and kind and go out of their way to make your stay special.
Room: The room was very spacious, bright, and comfortable. It had very high ceilings and a lot of natural light.

We only had one night in Seattle and had to see not only my dad for lunch but several friends for happy hour and dinner. I love me a Kimpton and I splurged on The Alexis because I used to work nearby and really always wanted to stay there one day. As a Karma Rewards member you get a good rate on a prepaid room plus several perks like a $10 minibar credit (we got almonds to take on our ferry the next day), early checkin/out etc. When booking the room Jenn the asst manager helped me personally make the reservation for the reward rate and since checking out has also reached out to personally help on future visits, something I can't wait to do!
I'd requested an early checkin a few days before arrival and they had everything ready for us when we arrived. The front desk staff were excellent and valets lovely about getting my dad's car in and out for a decent rate, so when we dined up near the Pike Pl Market we didn't have to deal with that nightmare of a parking situation. This location allows you to easily walk nearly anywhere or catch a bus, ferry, water taxi, lightrail to where you're going.
For happy hour my colleagues and I met in the Bookstore Bar, where I was greeted by a friendly bartender and told about specials. Shaun our waiter was super-lovely, helping us set up enough chairs for 5 and getting food orders in promptly since we all only had 2 hours together. Some of us hadn't seen each other in years, or at least months, and we were able to have a truly memorable time thanks to his service.
The bed was amazing and I only wished I'd spent longer in it, since we had an early departure. The room was quiet, comfortable, and elegant. The shower felt incredible and I love it when I have a good-sized hotel bathroom to "spread out" in w/toiletries and extra mirror.
One other note: We watched a wedding rehearsal going on in the lobby and the staff were really kind and helpful to the wedding party guests.
Also, there is a smaller secondary gym with a rock-climbing wall I really wanted to try! Several guests in the elevator were oohing and ahhing about it.
Time and time again, Kimpton makes it worthwhile to me to spend a little extra. The service and discounts more than make up for that, especially when your time with people is precious. Can't wait to return to this gorgeous, intimate hotel.

The hotel was amazing, too (LOVED our room, the luxury bath amenities were lovely, and wine hour in the lobby every night was perfection); however, it was the thoughtfulness and kindness of Mark, Adam, and Lara that make this a hotel we recommend without hesitation. Kudos to Alexis Kimpton for such fantastic choices in staffing!

There are 2 different ones. 1 for cardio and the other for training. They have nice soft, clean towels too. I'd have to say it is the nicest and most funcitonal hotel gyms I've ever experienced. They also have these neat stainless steel water dispensers. Talk about refreshing!

The desk was only about two feet from the end of the bed. My only other issue is that upon checkout I learned of their $15 service fee. So of course I asked what that is for and was told it was for Internet, towels, etc... I thought Internet was included so was a little taken aback by the charge. Overall pretty good stay but just watch out for that extra fee.

I have stayed at Kimpton properties on recent trips, and find the Alexis to be one of the most enjoyable locations. Great service, fun rooms, easy upgrades with their reward program. Some suites are very large, great for entertaining a group if you were so inclined.
If checking a car, best to come in on the side street entrance, 1st Ave is not always available, and even when it is, can be busy. Great valet service.

Service & Location are key on selecting a hotel! As I often coordinate travel for groups, making sure I select nothing but the best in service, location, cost and amenities - Alexis has them all covered!

We stayed in a whirlpool room - large with a separate seating area, and wine was delivered to our room on our first night, which was a nice touch. We received a fair rate through their luxury sale on this room; I probably would not have paid to upgrade. The whirlpool was a on the older side and the shower wasn't well-designed - I had to step into the shower to turn it on, then jump back before the spray hit me as it warmed up - a pet peeve.
That being said, these were minor issues and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The only drawbacks were:
1) inability to reserve a table in the restaurant. Given that it isn't particularly large, and is open to non residents, this is really appalling. In my mind that is enough to knock it down to a 4, but the rest of the family think I'm being harsh with that, hence the 5.
2) lack of a decent lounge area, but I think that was due to refurbishments going on (though I haven't noticed a reduction in the bill to reflect this - funny how hotels are only too keen to charge for every possible extra, but reluctant to knock money off if they can't deliver something from their end!)
In the main, though, excellent.
Final tip - join the Kimpton loyalty programme before you go to get free wifi.

I've been staying at the Alexis for three years now and each visit just keeps getting better. All of the Kimpton properties in Seattle are wonderful in their own way, but the 'elegance' of the Alexis keeps me thrilled every time.

I've been staying at the Alexis for three years now and each visit just keeps getting better. All of the Kimpton properties in Seattle are wonderful in their own way, but the 'elegance' of the Alexis keeps me thrilled every time.
As all the others have said, the location cannot be beat. Walking distance to many, many attractions is a definite asset, as well as being no more than a few minutes' ride to almost everything else.
From the minute I exited the taxi, I was 'home' and everything was seamlessly handled, from curbside to the door of my suite by the friendliest and most competent staff I have encountered in a long time.
Every room I've stayed in differed significantly from the previous one, but all displayed the same excellent housekeeping and welcoming amenities. Though the hotel is on a busy main street, I never heard any excessive noise, even when I've stayed on a lower floor.
The Alexis is a fantastic 'Grande Dame' of a place, and I really enjoy it for that reason. However, as I mentioned above, no matter how nice the building, it's the people who make the visit memorable. I was honestly blown away by the willingness of the staff to do whatever it may be to go the extra mile. It's a long list if I were to mention everyone, but on this trip, I have to say that Adam and Mark at the front desk are excellent examples of what guests look for in a fine hotel. They were not only helpful and professional, but genuinely friendly and welcoming. A great duo and wonderful assets to this remarkable hotel!

Beds were comfortable and supportive; staff was courteous and helpful; location was perfect and within walking distance of most places. Complimentary wine hour daily was a nice touch. I've not been a Kimpton person in the past -- always thinking I had to stick with a 4-seasons or more familiar name brand. Although I'm not 100 percent certain all Kimptons are as nice as the Alexis, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The front desk staff printed my boarding passes promptly on request and had my luggage stored on departure while I attended meetings.
This is a well located and excellent boutique hotel, in walking distance to the water and piers and to all the great restaurants and tourist spots, including the fish market. Why would I ever want to stay anywhere else while in Seattle?

The service is OK, don't expect too much from boutique hotels, they are going for hip style without being too upfront with service. But definitely helpful when you need them.
As other reviews mentioned, it's not for light sleepers, 1) the building is old and you can hear squeaky noise from above 2) with the hills in Seattle, you always hear loud engine noises even at midnight 3) somehow aircon when turn on makes funny noises like water dripping. So if you need absolute quietness, it's not suitable, but the value justifies the noise as it's inevitable to have noises from our experience even with more expensive and highly rated hotel.
We managed to find on-street parking right next to the hotel, it's free til 7am or so and we were able to pre-paid til 9am so if you plan to sleep in later than 9am, better to find a garage parking or valet.
On the date of check-out, we were charged "facilities fee" for around $30 every night which including using Wi-fi, which i felt it's quite sketchy as we booked using an account, the lady who checked us out happened to be the one who checked us in who also said that we would have free internet when checking in, she was indeed surprised that we had an account with Kimpton when I confronted with the charges, so do check your bill as you don't know what it is, it could be misleading in a way that you think it's one of the fees they must charged

Luckily the room had opening windows and so by leaving these open the smell did dissipate a little when we went out for something to eat. The smell was mentioned to reception, we did get an apology and a suggestion we might be able to move, but the hotel was quite full..... When we returned later after dinner we were both too tired to be bothered with the hassle of asking for a move. On reflection this was a mistake as the smell did return each day once the windows were shut and some of my clothes still had the smell on them our return to the UK 10 days later.
Good things about the Alexis - very convenient for most of the major sights in central Seattle so you can walk every where. Room was a good size, bed was very comfortable (and the linen did not have the odd smell!), bathroom was well designed, wifi good, staff friendly and the usual hosted wine hour at 5pm.
We had a couple of interesting and tasty breakfasts at 'The Bookstore Cafe'

There seems to be no soundproofing and you could hear every step the people made in the room above. I also think it is cheap for a hotel to charge internet fees when the room rates are so high. The staff in the restaurant and at checkout were apathetic and unhelpful. A mediocre-poor experience.

Very roomy, comfortable and quiet when you want to sleep. The workout facilities are OK. The "wows" here are: location, charm and comfort of the lobby and rooms, the attentiveness of the staff. The "meh": workout facilities. The "ouch": Seattle during the summer dry season is prime time, and the room rates throughout the city are sky high. The Alexis rates are no exception - on a relative basis, it is competitively priced. I'd definitely consider returning to The Alexis Hotel.

Loved the service. We were able to check in early and head out for lunch. We were staying here to attend a Mariners game later in the evening and the location of this hotel is perfect for that...took a nice 20 minute stroll to the stadium. We ordered room service for breakfast the next morning which was very good and piping hot on arrival. Overall I only have two small complaints. First...the size of the tub in the bathroom is only for 1 small person. It would be nice to have a tub large enough to share. Second...I love the leopard print bathrobes they provide...but as it was size L and I need an XL, I could not wear it. Will definitely stay here again when returning to downtown Seattle.

Love this funky Hotel. So many different rooms, helpful staff and excellent location. We are able to walk to many of the most popular destinations like Pike Place. Hoping to try the restaurant the next time we are there. Will be back!

Alexis Hotel, a Kimpton HotelUniquely unexpected

First trip to Seattle on business.
A colleague suggested staying in Pioneer Square. The hotel has a writer's theme and the rooms are decorated as such. It's a quaint hotel, different than my usual business travel and typical stay.
I'm not a big fan of the way the bathroom is situated, it has an odd shape.
Thus far the staff have been friendly and helpful.

The evening management aperitif was also welcome. Watch out for the valet parking pull up. It is normally on First Ave but during the rush hours it transfers round the corner to Madison. It is central to the waterfront area and restaurants. Need to travel to the central tourist area. If we ever go back to Seattle we would want to stay here.

The only reason why I'm giving this hotel a 3 is because if you happen to be unlucky enough to get stuck with a room on the 1st Avenue side of the place it is unbelievably loud! The street noise is ridiculous. Morning traffic starts at about 5 am & that's when you stop sleeping. Otherwise, the place was great- awesome staff, good location to downtown & tourist things & not in a bad part of town. We walked back to the hotel pretty late & felt comfortable doing that.

We had a need to drive a couple of places and it was so easy to get our car, get directions from Chris and the Valet folks to avoid bad traffic. Mark at the front desk became like our best friend!! Great place to stay. Seattle is expensive - but felt like we got our money's worth!!

This hotel was beautiful but the staff at the front desk were a huge disappointment. I stayed there for 3 nights with my husband for a quick getaway ($500 per night) and when we checked in, the front desk failed to mention any of the great offers included with our purchase. Only when I went online to look up reviews of the hotel restaurant did I see the offers mentioning free parking, complimentary drinks, etc. When I went down to speak to the front desk about the complimentary offers included with our room later that evening (specifically parking), he said we could no longer redeem the perks because we failed to mention them while checking-in. When I explained to him that I was unaware of the complimentary perks before checking in, he basically told me it was not his problem and acted like he would much rather be someplace else.
My husband and I only stay at luxury hotels when we travel, and this was the most dismissive and genuinely unsettling treatment I have ever received at a luxury hotel. I must emphasize that our room at the hotel was beautiful, but the service at the front desk was inexcusable. We decided not to speak to management because it seemed absurd to get frustrated over something as silly as parking, but we should have. At luxury hotels you are paying for exceptional service, but this hotel failed to deliver and I cannot recommend staying there to others.
However, when we returned to Seattle a few weeks later with family and friends, we decided to stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and it was fantastic. The service was superb and the piano bar was lovely - I highly recommended!!

We used the Bookstore restaurant on three occasions; for a late night beverage, for late night reading when one of our family went to sleep early, and for breakfast (order bacon if you like it--it was really good.)
The room was comfortable, the beds soft with a choice of types of pillows, and the decor attractive. I was concerned about the possibility of noise as we were facing the busiest street, but the insulation between inside and out and between the rooms made for a quiet stay.
The Staff was friendly and helpful, and the one minor housekeeping problem we had was quickly attended to.
This hotel is expensive, but the quality matched the price. I was glad we chose to stay there.

Since we booked on a special, they put us in a room that looked like a closet with a full brick wall the only view a foot outside the window--very claustrophobic. When we asked to move, they instead put us in the room adjacent to the hotel ductwork, which rattled and roared all night. No sleep at this hotel! Be careful if you book a special because they sure know how to stick you in a room no one would want!

Matt on reception ( who checked us in) was super accommodating. Our room wasn't quite ready so he gave us complimentary drinks vouchers ( and a room credit) for the inconvenience. Toby - who we met also on front desk - was also very helpful, as were ALL the staff we encountered on the front desk, door and in the Bookstore bar and restaurant. Location is perfect for exploring downtown, Pike Place market and a couple of blocks (5min walk) from the mono rail to the Seattle centre (thanks for the heads up on that Toby!) - which saved us a long walk. Loved Seattle, and especially the hotel. We will be back for sure!

When we arrived to the beautiful hotel the lobby was amazing and cozy. Shante at the front desk greeted us after a long day of travel it was nice to see a welcoming smile:) We gave her our names and she said Happy Anniversary to you both your room is ready...I put you in one of my favorite rooms for your anniversary. (On my reservation I had mentioned we were traveling there for a weekend anniversary getaway). We stayed in the ballerina suite...and it was breathtaking. Great views of the bay, had a living room, dining area and seperate bedroom. The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were great. The room featured 2 TV's and small fridge (stocked if you wanted to buy anything) and snacks for purchase.
The first evening there the concierge sent us up a bottle of champagne and chocolates with a nice handwritten note from Lara our conciege:) Was a very nice touch.
They have a restaurant as well on premise called the Bookstore. It is a very quaint restaurant/lounge with great food! Nice chance to grab a beverage and unwind...service was excellent and bartender was excellent at banter!
In summary if you are shopping online for a hotel in Seattle....this one is in a great location! Within a short walk to bay and the market. Convenient to get to downtown...so location is the best. It also has fantastic rooms and great customer service!! You will feel like a celebrity when you are there!! This hotel will exceed your expectations on every level....HIGHLY recommend.

My recent business trip to Seattle got off to a rough start. I had an uncomfortable stay in another hotel, checked out the next morning and walked down to the Alexis. Half way there, I stepped into the crosswalk (I had green right of way) and had an "incident" with an Audi Q7 - I went down hard. When I walked into the beautiful Alexis lobby, I looked as if I'd been reenacting Fight Club - blood streaming down my hand and my wrist damaged. Mark at the front desk sprung into action producing first aid supplies, a list of the nearest urgent care facilities, and just generally getting me patched up (physically and mentally) so I could continue my business trip.
When I officially checked in to the hotel and got to my room at 7pm that night, I was blown away by my awesome, huge suite, hand written note asking how I was doing, and bottle of wine with cheese and crackers.
I think it's important to convey this to the TripAdvisor community because, yes, the hotel is beautiful, comfortable, hip, fun, clean, in a great location, everything you've come to expect from Kimpton properties. But what truly separates the Alexis from the pack is staff like Mark and an approach to their profession rooted in treating guests like family, not like just another paying customer. They don't just say they care, they actually care. You can see it. You can feel it. It makes a business trip feel less cold and a pleasure trip feel like you have genuine support helping you have the best experience possible.
I'm grateful that there are people like Mark in the world, that Jenne and her entire staff at the Alexis deeply care about what they do and how it impacts others, and that Kimpton has maintained a commitment to doing things in their unique, superior way.

The fitness center occupies two rooms on two different floors which is odd. It's got great weights and flexibility equipment, but might be a bit light on the cardio. The rooms are worn down a bit with dirty desks, dusty curtains and older bathrooms. The apartment tower is a bit better, but the furniture feels like it's perfect for a Victorian foyer in Savannah rather than hip Seattle. A few of the hotel staff was great, but others felt like it was just a job to them. The lobby restaurant could use more training too. In full disclosure, the people in our group that were under 30 years old, enjoyed the hotel more.

First off, the hotel is at a FANTASTIC location. It is on 1st Ave. between Spring St. and Madison St. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Pike Place Market and about the same to the waterfront. It's a similar distance to Pioneer Square too. There are all these shops and restaurants all along 1st Avenue near the hotel. So many things are walking distance to the hotel. It is wonderfully convenient!
Second, the hotel lives up to the Kimpton name. As a Kimpton Karma Rewards member, I have come to expect a certain level of taste when it comes to hotel decor and service. And let me tell you, the Alexis did not disappoint. The lobby and rooms were clean and tastefully appointed. And the service was top notch as well. I had a few small requests after check-in (sewing kit, wake up call) and while these may seem like small items, you'll be surprised that some hotels still can't get these things right. Also, extra points to The Alexis for paying attention to my Karma guest preference sheet at check in. A lot of other Kimpton properties overlook that detail. The Alexis came through with flying colors - and the staff did it with a smile!
Full disclosure - for my 2 previous trips to Seattle, I had stayed at the Hotel Vintage (also a Kimpton property) a few blocks away. While the staff at the Vintage tried hard, I always felt that they still fumbled on a few service issues. Also, the Vintage is located a little bit further from the action. So with all this being said, I definitely have found my new Seattle go-to hotel with the Alexis. I cannot wait to go back!
Thank you Hotel Alexis for a great stay in Emerald City!

There was also lots of construction outside the hotel, which obviously is not their problem, but again, for the price we paid, it wasn't worth it.

The location was great as well, especially for going to the Seattle Art Museum and Pike Place Market.

It's one thing to spend your money on a comfortable hotel, but to feel that you've invested it is different. From the moment, we stepped into the lobby, we were treated with care. Lara, the hotel concierge, was very quick to assist us with our stay as well as insure our comfort. We want to recognize her personally for guiding us through the streets of Seattle, outlining the pros and cons of the attractions and taking time to make our visit as personal as possible. Anyone can hold a smile, but it takes someone very special to be in charge of maintaining that positivity within the atmosphere. The quality service of this hotel is one of the best I've seen and we surely will be visiting again when in town.

I have been to Seattle almost a dozen times over the years and stayed at many hotels. Some of them include the Four Seasons, Inn at the Market and Fairmont. While some of these hotels have amazing views, the Alexis has a personalized service and at-home feeling to the rooms that makes you keep coming back.During my second stay at the hotel, I was greeted by the most cheerful person, Tiffany, who worked hard to ensure I had a good stay.

She even upgraded my room to make my stay more comfortable. The restaurant downstairs, the Bookstore, was a pleasure. During our meal, the chef Alex Rivera came down and chatted with us for a while and is and up-in-comer in the restaurant scene. This is a special gem where people put the customer first and make staying there a pleasure. It doesn't hurt that each of the rooms is all one of a kind and charming. Bravo to them all for creating a unique little niche in a town where there are so many choices. I will keep coming back.

I stayed at a different Kimpton property a couple weeks before and had one small problem with a dropped call when ordering room service. On my survey, I asked for lilies with red roses and champagne for my next stay. When I arrived there was the biggest bouquet of lilies with about a dozen red roses that were stunning! The table was also decked out with fancy chocolates and champagne. When my date arrived, she was ecstatic about the extra attention, which paid off nicely when we made each ot...

The table was also decked out with fancy chocolates and champagne. When my date arrived, she was ecstatic about the extra attention, which paid off nicely when we made each other more comfortable after room service dinner. The exhilarating stay was in no small part due to the extra diligence of all the hotel staff to make things special.

As an Alaskan a getaway to Seattle to enjoy the city is always a fun outing. I've stayed at many properties in downtown Seattle over the years but the Alexis gets my vote as the most consistent hotel for comfort, service,location and elegance. The rooms are always comfortable and luxurious( ask for a room in the "old building", the second bank of elevators). The staff is always attentive but not intrusive, and the location is excellent. It has the Best room service as far as quality of the food ...

It has the Best room service as far as quality of the food and the quickness of delivery. Eggs Benedict are usually not something to order in a hotel, but Alexis delivers the perfect Benedict every time!

Alexis Hotel, a Kimpton HotelSatisfactory stay, but not perfect

Kelvinite
from California

The quality of the room was okay, but the bathrooms are a bit dated and the ergonomics of the fixtures were less than ideal. There were two wall timers in the bathroom and they both seem to operate some sort of exhaust fan but since they weren't labeled, it's hard to know for sure which was what. The coffee machine that we requested didn't have the coffee replenished on the second day. Oddly, mugs weren't provided until the second night. The staff was polite.
